Romanian TV to broadcast Europa match

Romanian TV channel Digisport will broadcast the second leg of the Europa League third round qualifier between West Ham v FC Astra Giurgiu next Thursday.

Although no English commentary has been confirmed , the presence of the LIVE cameras increases the chances that a British broadcaster will take the coverage.

At the worst it will be available as a Internet stream with foreign commentary.

West Ham have been allocated just 500 tickets for the away leg in Romania priced at £11 each plus a £6.95 booking and special delivery postal fee. Priority Points applicants will hear today whether they have been successful in getting tickets for Romania.

Media in Romania claim around 3,000 Romanians attended last night’s sell out match at the Boleyn ground. Many mingled with home supporters in a match which finished 2-2.

Unless the ticket office offers ‘uk’ based allocated seats by the visitors area i.e. away fans plus uk away fans next to each other , then away fans will buy home tickets. The ones near me didn’t cause any issues bar one chant and celebrating their goals. I was more disappointed by our boneheads and their verbals in front of kids

It nearly all kicked off where I was especially when the game finished. Romanians were chanting something at WH supporters going down the stairs and spitting at them. A few years ago no WH fan would have let them get away with that, but we must remember we have to be PC to all our fellow European friends. Shame the same don’t go for them. Absolutely ridiculous.

There’s good and bad in all fans,at least the suds would have said the whole ground was full of pikeys home and away,
But agree in the old days they would not have got away with it,but times have changed,in those days we would not have coward fans hoping we were going to be knocked out so we don’t get relegated,
Just a different sort of coward,
